Hello debian-cd/debian-boot, This heads-up first goes to the smaller list of recipients. On 20/05/2025 13:35, Cleverson Casarin Uliana wrote:
Thanks but no luck.
It turns out that I actually own hardware that needs additional firmware to properly work: Lenovo Thinkpad P16s Gen3.
I found out that one needs to place the firmware files inside the initrd of the installer for espeakup to find them, it is not sufficient to generate a .patterns file (that will be picked up much later by hw-detect)
I've prepared a patch for the live images, which will be merged soon: https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/-/merge_requests/424The ugly thing is that I need the kernel modules 'drm' and 'i915' and their dependencies in addition to the firmware to enable sound for espeakup on the Lenovo Thinkpad.
Would it be OK to stuff so much extras in the initrd of the installer?After the weekly build on Monday, I'll request another test of the live image for the firmware-intel-sound case, and when successful I can prepare a MR for debian-cd, so that trixie will have more a11y support with modern hardware.
With kind regards, Roland Clobus
